I have been unsuccessful in getting plain text to print to a remote printer. I have been able to use a2ps to print, but it seem like a work around, as I can print fine with a Sun connected to the printer. I have tried the following: #!/bin/sh printf "\033E\033&k2G" cat - printf "\033E" and the one before it had: #!/bin/sh echo "\027&k3G" cat exit The two scripts are different in different respects, the first uses \033 for the escape character, which I feel is correct. The second ends with exit but the first one does not. Also, I have :sh: in my printcap entry, but I still have to type lpr -h to suppress the header page. Any ideas? TIA Wayne
